Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
It is expected to find an increase in absolute handgrip strength in both groups, but in sustained strength it is expected that the mean strength in the last 60% of the time is greater in the decreasing load group, because it is the load that is proposed to reduce muscle fatigue. The method used to measure absolute and sustained strength is dynamometer.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
It is expected to find a decrease in muscle activation, measured by the root mean square, which represents the mean amplitude of the electromyographic signal in both groups, but a greater reduction is expected in the decreasing load group. The method used to measure muscle activation is electromyography.
